Gaudi2 vs RTX 4080

Intel Gaudi2 vs Nvidia RTX 4080

A data center GPU against a consumer card, one Gaudi (2nd Gen) and one Ada Lovelace: 96 GB HBM2e against 16 GB GDDR6X, 3.4x the memory bandwidth on the Gaudi2, and RoCE 600 GB/s on the Gaudi2 where the RTX 4080 is PCIe only.

Price comparison

Median price per GPU per hour by billing type, with the cheapest listing under it.

Billing	Gaudi2	RTX 4080	Difference
On-demand	$1.21 /GPU/hr from $1.03	$0.25 /GPU/hr from $0.16	4.9x more expensive on Gaudi2
Reserved	-- /GPU/hr from $0.58 (12 mo)	-- /GPU/hr from $0.20 (1 mo)
Spot	No spot listings	-- /GPU/hr from $0.11

Heads up: A provider's own page may quote a different figure, for example on tax, region or a promotion. A monthly-only plan shows a derived hourly rate. Medians are across providers, one vote each, so a large catalog does not outweigh a small one. No median for reserved on the Gaudi2 and reserved and spot on the RTX 4080: we only show one when at least 3 providers list the GPU on that billing type. Verify before provisioning.
